We've been anchored here in the Port of Massawa for five days and have just gotten back from an inland trip to Eritrea's capital 'Asmara'. It cost us one US dollar to ride the four hour bus trip up through Eritrea's mountain range rising up from the African desert. For around forty five years Eritrea was colonised by the Italians ending in 1941 but the culture and architecture is still very prominent making Asmara a beautiful old city. On sunday we rode the refurbished Eritrean Steam railway from Asmara to the village of Nefasit winding through spectacular scenery and a real treat that we least expected!
Our plan now is to sail north tonight to try and make the 180 miles to Khor Nawarat before the next set of Northerly winds set in.
